How long did all that take?

Very nice.

Yor new day planner cover is unstoppable

Thanks everyone!

My secret santa victim indicated "...loves handmade, personal gifts"". When I read that I thought, *I'm your guy!*. I took a couple weeks thinking, deciding, planning and gathering the materials. I had most of the leather already, but my stock of conchos was... zero. Once I had all the parts and pieces (including some new tools, you can't do a project without getting some new tools), I took about three nights after work to put it together. Deciding and designing the cutouts took awhile, but if I had to make another one, I could create it in one night, say, four hours.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my work. Next time, I might use lighter leather, and cut relief grooves, like hinges, for where it folds. And I might consider lighter leather for the cover holding flaps. If I were to build one for an e-reader like a kindle or a nook, I would make different attachment designs, like corner pockets since there are no covers to hold.

I had a very good time making it, I hope you have as much enjoyment using it.

Well done V !!!
Verry cool !!!!

Fantastic V! Brilliant idea and execution.

It is going to be my wedding planner. It will hold all my finance info, plans, schemes, dates, ideas etc... Then next Christmas, after I am married.. I will find another use for it. :)

Thanks for the presentation. Great gift idea!

sweet!

I saw this and wondered if this was The Gift.

Outstanding!:thumb:

Heheh, victim.:D

That is more than beautiful it's craft and artistry at its best. A gift to treasure at so many levels, gorgeous!

Oh and PS to that, I don't know if it is commonplace there (the U.S)but I have never seen anything like it and imagine people here would bite your hand off to get one. Well thought out and executed.

Will it fit a Kindle?

For you, xoB, I will make one to fit a Kindle. I have a template for the Kindle already.

What colors, what design? Post here or pm.
